FDA (Devices) recall action 97443
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 3 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 3 pages.
Lack of a 510(k) premarket clearance for the i-STAT CG8+, EG7+ and EG6+ cartridges to reflect updated sample type for potassium and ionized calcium and measurement ranges for pH and PO2.
The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.
The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
